St George’s Catholic Primary School Council has had a School Parliament for a number of years now and their role is constantly evolving. Here a group of pupils are elected by their peers to represent the views of all pupils and to improve their school. From this parliament a ‘cabinet’ will be elected. Some of these children hold titles such as Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary, mentor etc. The School Parliament meets, at least once every half-term, to discuss and sort out problems. These may include school lunches, behaviour or ideas for special events.
Members of the School Parliament will be responsible for carrying out the ideas that have been agreed, such as: who to invite to science week; improving the learning environment, or planning new playground activities.
Being a school parliamentarian is a really responsible job and it does mean that every child learns a lot from taking part.
Our School
We want our school to be the kind of school that everyone enjoys coming to, where everyone knows and understands each other. We want it to be a cheerful place, where we look after everyone. We want you to have ‘faith in growing and grow in faith’
We want it to be a safe place where children can be trusted to be sensible, because everyone follows the class and school rules and expectations and lives by the school values (Trust, Respect, Faith, Forgiveness, Aspiration, Determination, Curiosity. We want everyone to be honest, have good manners and to treat people and possessions with respect.
We want to be proud of our work and try our best every day, so we do well with our learning by following our learning DRAGON code so we are the best that we can be. We will keep going when things are challenging and listen carefully to each other. We want to find out interesting and useful things about the world.
If everyone can do this we will remember the great time we had at St George’s with our friends, for the rest of our lives.
